Aphasia

Aphasia is a condition that affects more than 2 million Americans and is caused by damage to the brain, particularly by strokes. It is a reduction or loss of language after certain parts of the brain have been affected. The Oakland-based Aphasia Center of California is one of the few places in the country to provide direct services to people suffering with aphasia. Learn more about this condition and all that the center does to support people with aphasia as they celebrate their 15th anniversary.
